How many do you want to make? 4. What is your loom’s loss? ©Jane Stafford Textiles 2018 Page 2 Calculating Width and Calculating Warp Length therefore Weft Start with the Finished Start with Finished Width of length of one item: one item: ______” ______” +______” take-up +______” draw-in +______” shrinkage +______” shrinkage +______” hems/fringe =______” width in the =______” length of one reed item x______ EPI x______ number of =______ total items to be number of warp threads made =______” Multiply your total +______” loom loss number of warp ends by =______” length of the length of your warp and warp in inches you will have the number of 36 yards of yarn you need to =______ length of make the warp. I cheat and warp in yards just double it so I have enough for my weft. It’s better to round up than round down. ©Jane Stafford Textiles 2018 Page 2b Planning Your Requirements How much do I buy? epi x width in reed = total # of warp ends x length of warp = total yardage required for warp! If you are weaving a balanced piece of cloth you will need: ppi x width of warp (in inches) x length of warp (in inches) = total # of inches 36 = total number of yards ©Jane Stafford Textiles 2018 Page 3 ie. For a blankie: 6 epi x 45” wide = 270 of warp ends x 3 yards long = 810 yards of warp yarn required for warp! Weft #1 Weft #2 6 ppi 6 ppi x 45” wide x 45” wide 270 270 x 80 inches long x 2.5 yards long 21600 = 675 yards 36 approximately = 600 yards for weft ©Jane Stafford Textiles 2018 Page 4 Always Allow More Than Less! ©Jane Stafford Textiles 2018 Page 5 Yards per Pound in the Count System Wool (homespun) 300 Wool (worsted) 560 Linen 300 Cotton 840 Silk 840 2/8 2 = 2 ply, 8 = size of yarn size x Count per ply = pound 4 8 x 840 3360 yards in a pound 2 1 = ©Jane Stafford Textiles 2018 Page 6 How to figure out yards per 100 gr.

Size: - to frame a place setting - to define an area on a table (runner) 2. Colour: - to match a piece of tableware - to compliment the décor of a room - symmetrical or asymmetrical use of colour 3. Overall - weight of placemat Design: - delicate, fine, heirloom - heavy and absorbent ie: repp weave 4. Structure: - many to choose from. Traditional linen weaves which are one shuttle balanced 50/50 weaves with a weft identical in size and type to the warp. The traditional linen weaves are M’s and O’s, Huck, Spot Bronson, Bronson Lace. - plain weave, twills, stripes, tartans, fine overshot, summer & winter, are all suitable as are the finger manipulated weaves such as leno, Brooks Bouquet, Spanish Lace, Danish Medallion, etc. 5. Design - take a piece of paper and cut to the size you want. Proportions: - It may help to use the Greek oblong which is a 2:3 ratio. - draw out your design - trust the Fibonacci numerical series 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8 etc. 6. Choosing Materials: -will depend on overall design ie: heavy, light, etc. 7. Care: - how often is this article to be used – occasionally or everyday? - how will it be laundered? 8. Hem Treatment: - fringe, double fringed, kotted, rolled, handstitched or machined stitched. ©Jane Stafford Textiles 2018 Page 10 Reed Substitution Chart Reed Substitution Chart Sley 5 6 8 10 12 15 16 18 in Reed 0-0-1 2 2 3 3 4 5 5 6 0-1 2.5 3 4 5 6 7.5 8 9 0-1-1 3 4 5 7 8 10 11 12 0-1-1-1 4 4.5 6 7.5 9 11.5 12 13.5 1 5 6 8 10 12 15 16 18 1-1-1-2 6 7.5 10 12.5 15 19 20 22.5 1-1-2 7 8 11 13 16 20 21 24 1-2 7.5 9 12 15 18 22.5 24 27 1-2-2 8 10 13 17 20 25 27 30 1-2-2-2 9 10.5 14 17.5 21 26 28 31.5 2 10 12 16 20 24 30 32 36 2-2-2-3 11 13.5 18 22.5 27 34 36 40.5 2-2-3 12 14 19 23 28 35 37 42 2-3 12.5 15 20 25 30 37.5 40 45 2-3-3 13 16 21 27 32 40 43 48 2-3-3-3 14 16.5 22 27.5 33 41 44 49.5 3 15 18 24 30 36 45 48 54 3-3-3-4 16 19.5 26 32.5 39 49 52 58.5 3-3-4 17 20 27 33 40 50 53 60 3-4 17.5 21 28 35 42 52.5 56 63 3-4-4 18 22 29 37 44 55 59 66 4 20 24 32 40 48 60 64 72 4-4-5 22 26 35 43 52 65 69 78 4-5-5 23 28 37 47 56 70 75 84 5 25 30 40 50 60 75 80 90 ©JanePushing Stafford the Bound Textilesaries of P la2018inweave II © Jane Stafford 2013 Page 12Page 11 Jane Stafford Textiles Master Sett142 Richard FlackChart Rd.

Traditions, Tourists, Trends Tracy P. Hudson That's rather abrupt, no subtitle. But obviously this is about textiles, and the interaction between these factors, which is too complex and multifaceted to encapsulate in an easy phrase. This paper begins with a series of questions and how they came up, and then looks at several different manifestations of this complex interaction in different parts of the world. It will end optimistically, with examples of success and an emphasis on the integrated quality of textile making, culture and identity. It's important to know what we're talking about when we say 'traditions' or 'traditional textiles.' The term can be problematic, but I'm using it to refer to a continuous set of practices embedded within a culture, or the textiles that grow from that ecosystem: the interaction of people, materials and environment.

  • TAPESTRY SAMPLER BAG Designed by Jane Patrick
    TAPESTRY SAMPLER BAG DESIGNED BY JANE PATRICK Try out tapestry weaving and make a handy little bag at the same time. You’ll use many techniques in this project: shading studies, rya, soumak, weft-faced color-and-weave, interlocking weft, clasped weft, Damascus edge finish, pick-up patterning on an inkle band. We wove the bag in one piece, starting at the top edge of the back. Shading studies in plainweave and soumak form a gradient with interesting textures. Rya knots mark the fold and create the fringe at the bottom of the bag. On the front, bright colors form bold patterns in plainweave, interloking joins, clasped weft, and soumak. The Damascus edge, worked off loom, was used for the edge finish on both ends of the weaving. For the strap, we worked an inkle band with pick-up. BAG Finished size: 5-1/2" x 5-1/2", excluding fringe. Bottom Equipment needed: Arras Tapestry Loom, Schacht fringe is 1-1/2" long. weighted beater, 9" weaving stick, 2 stick shuttles, tapestry EPI: 6 needle, sewing needle, iron (for fusible interfacing), sewing PPI: to cover the warp. machine (optional). Number of warp ends: 36 Warp yarn for bag: #18 cotton seine twine, about 50 yards. Warping: Warp length as wound on the Arras is 45"; you can Weft yarn for bag and warp/weft yarn for inkle band: weave two bags on this warp. Use a tight tension to make Jamieson Shetland Spindrift (105 m/115 yd per ball), in weaving easier.

  • EXPLORE TAPESTRY WEAVE-ALONG by Jane Patrick the Last Time I Wove Tapestry Was Back in the 70S When I Frst Started Weaving
    EXPLORE TAPESTRY WEAVE-ALONG by Jane Patrick The last time I wove tapestry was back in the 70s when I frst started weaving. Everyone was weaving wall hangings—much like many of the new weavers are weaving today (but they have better colors and materials). We wanted to develop the Arras loom to help meet the needs of new weavers who were transitioning from wall hangings to more serious tapestry weaving. Of course, as the Arras developed, I yearned to try tapestry again. Though I’ve been weaving for over 40 years, tapestry just wasn’t in my toolbox. This is a bit strange because I have always appreciated the pure colors of weft-faced fabrics. You don’t have warp and weft visually interacting, which affects the color, and, of course, the design. I have had quite a bit of experience with weft-faced weaving though—which I explored in my book The Weavers’ Idea Book. This is also probably why I fnd the warp-faced fabric in an inkle band equally appealing. You only see the warp colors and the weft is obscured except where it turns around at the selvedges. You can see weft-faced tapestry and warp-faced inkle weaving put together in my tapestry sampler bag at www.schachtspindle.com/tapestrysampler/. WELCOME Thanks for joining me on this tapestry exploration! I hope you’ll share your progress and ideas on Instagram, Facebook and Ravelry as we go along. Above all else, I hope you’ll have fun and try to play (though I know this is hard) as much as possible.

  • Illustrated Glossary of Textile Terms for Composites
    Y . / .- NASA Contractor Report 191539 Illustrated Glossary of Textile Terms for Composites Christopher M. Pastore ,,t" _o .2 o _ u'_ u_ o _ ,-4 m ,-4 u O" 0 _ C ._ Z _ 0 North Carolina State University Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science r_ Raleigh, North Carolina r_ Purchase Order L-18543D September 1993 1"7 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia 23681-0001 C Introduction This glossary has been developed in response to the need for better communication between textile manufacturers and composites engineers. The need for such a glossary has been under discussion for some time, and at a recent workshop on process control of textile composites held at NASA Langley, one of the principal action items identified was the creation of such a document. The need became apparent in this workshop which included both textile and aircraft manufacturers, when the difficulty in precise communication became obvious. The terms in this glossary are those commonly used by the textile industry, and unlikely to be familiar to those educated in engineering and science. To ensure that a full range of terminology was employed, several sources were employed. Traditional textile dictionaries and textbooks, as well as terminology documents prepared by various government and industrial agencies were used as the starting point. Based on these documents, a rough draft was created and sent to a number of people working in the general area of textile composites (Appendix A). The industrial and government participants gave their feedback to the the document and this was incorporated into the final text.
